God's ideal was that the natives and the Christians would work in peace exchanging the knowledge of the land and their faith in God together. Instead war brew in every corner in the beginnings. But yet, God placed his dispensation on this land and gave the United States a special responsibility for the whole world. It is failing in its mission as it worries about its own self interests.
"The future of this country will become more miserable than that of the first Israel nation. For forty years, and especially during the past twenty years, which has been the prime time of my life, I have been shedding so many tears for the sake of America and the free world. Has America ever paid attention to the direction we go in the world today, we can ask people what they think will be the future of America and they say that it will be difficult. By the same token, those of you here believe that if America continues along the same path, her future will be very dismal."
Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon
Those who believe in the teachings of the Divine Principle believe that God sent Rev. Moon to America to save it like a doctor or fireman to a sick and burning nation.
This whole blog is based on his deep relevatory teachings centered on the Old and New Testament that when applied to anyone's daily life, will bring them not only closer to God, but become more of the original being God had purposed from the beginning.
When he came to America he was imprisoned, spoke poorly about and treated badly even at the airport. He said that Americans were not acting the way of God toward him. America is losing it's founding purpose and its Christian ethics. But he never gave up on America for one reason: because of God's will.
The Christian nation is in the position of the bride.
God's will for the true Israel nation was the for Cain and Abel representatives to become one. It was to prepare a bride for the messiah who is the groom. Since the bride is prepared in our age, the messiah comes. The original idea was for Cain and Abel to be children of the first true parents. If Adam and Eve had followed God's warning to wait until maturity to delve into the fruit, then God could have claimed His tribe and countries and fulfill whatever He desired. Instead, Satan stole God's position and bred false parents and false children bearing his false blood lineage. Isn't this the reality of the world today?
The work which you must fulfill at this time is to separate yourself from being false children, living according to falsehood, and enter into true relationships.
People of faith have the responsibility to separate themselves from being false children and stop living according to falsehood, but enter into true relationships. God could have destroyed the world unworthy of Him when it became a part of Satan's false love and lineage. But instead, He has been working since the fall occurred to graft mankind into the new love, new life and new lineage to save it.
The main purpose of religion has to bring this will of God into fruition and it means uniting the mind and body of man centered upon God's ideal. The fall occurred when the first children followed their body's desire which is suppose to be in the minus position. The body is in the plus position centered on God. The fall caused both the mind and body to be in the plus position and the mind and body are constantly in conflict.
The body became the base for Satan where he launches his attacks for example, diseases and fallen acts of sexual misconduct. So the mind which is closer to God and the fallen body continually fight for dominance. The eyes can see good and bad things, the nose smells bad things and good things just as it was supposed to just as the ears can hear both good and bad things.
God's ideal function for the eyes were to see only good things from God, but after the fall, the mind tells you to distinguish good from bad.
Whatever God likes, Satan hates, and whatever God hates, Satan likes.
The same token for the body and mind. Whatever the fleshly eyes yearn to see or the carnal ears wish to hear, God hates. The nose wants to smell perfume and the skin and body wants to feel soft and easy things. What the body wants is the reverse of what is good for you. On the other hand, what is good for you, the body hates.
We deny the external world of Satan and strive to come back to the internal world of God. They are 180 degrees opposite from one another, isn't that true?
The external world of Satan and the internal world of God are 180 degrees opposite from one another, isn't this true? People of faith deny the world of Satan and is our lifelong task to distinguish good and bad through the five senses. Even good people think it is commonplace for a spouse to leave when someone else comes along that is more attractive or caters to more of their needs. This is because we each possess a body that belongs to Satan.
Therefore, we should learn to deny our body and say, "What I am desiring is a bad thing and I must stop."
One must go from something they hate the most and then they can be restored. From Satan's world, that which seems to be the most beautiful and combine with that which is most ugly and they will be the most ideal to turn to heaven. This is the only way to correct yourself.
Even after marriage, if we don't learn how to control and deny ourselves, then we are not worthy of God's world. It will be worst than Satan.
Before the fall, how many people were there? There were Adam and Eve, absolutely only two. Not even three, just two. Adam and Eve were each other's spouse, they were to be the first mother and father. For them to even think that another spouse, or another partner was possible, was to admit of the existence of the fallen world. How can free sex even be possible in heaven?
This is not God's original plan. This is the concept of promiscuity which does not have a place in God's world. Man was created to have one sexual relationship and that was with their spouse and no one else.
Once you experience your first love, you want to live with that person for your whole life.
You never should separate and have another love, and then another, and so forth. Never. That was never part of God's plan.
Even though in modern society everyone seems to be okay with the situation of homosexuality and lesbianism this is not a possibility in God's realm? How can it be explained in God's world when He did not create man to be sexual with a man or woman to be sexual with a woman?
Your love is eternal and it centers upon your first love.
In the satanic world, people behave more like dogs that mate with just anyone. When they experience first love, they go beyond this and move on to another and another. The more they repeat this destruction of love, the more they fall into hell.
Where is your first love?
Our ancestors lost their first love so we must find our first love. Even in the fallen realm of the satanic world, fallen first love is so strong that one does not forget it. To reverse this mistake we must completely erase the fallen love within the satanic world and reach for the higher, pure True Love.
God as Our Father
When everyone is able to call God their father including the grandparents, parents and children, what does this mean?
It means True Love. God is common for all the different generations centering on first True Love. We must restore feeling that first True Love.
Our relationship to God is one of father/son so we call God "Father".
Grandfather can call God Father, and father and mother can call Father, and even their children can call Father. That is what kind of love? That is first True Love. In the common perspective, all first True Love is between a man and woman. So grandfather and grandmother have their family.
The family is the building block of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The father and mother have their family and the children will have their own family. Same value. So, to the family, God is the same value. To each generation, God is their father.
When you first wake up, what is the first thing you see? What your body like most or what your mind likes most?
Our world is infiltrated by satanic things, and possibly the first thing we see in the morning is something satanic or a thought far from God.
Your Body
The natural world is connected to your body and your mind is connected with the vertical center point. Your mind constantly speaks to you telling you to go here and there and to turn around don't go there and reminds you to do the right thing? Isn't this true? There is a constant battle between the mind and body. How do we bring these two parts into unity? This is the purpose of the human restoration course.
You will never be able to connect to heaven unless this problem is solved. It is necessary to correct the disunity between mind and body in order to get into the ideal world of heaven. This is the principle way to create the ideal world of heaven. It takes more than belief in Jesus to go to heaven for faith without works is dead.
Even if someone tries to deny this principle and go against them, it does not matter because the truth is eternal and takes the central position. How do we bring unity and place the mind back into the subject position and the body into the object position?
We must have the determination that no matter how hard the body rebels against the mind which is following God, we must have control of ourselves.
We will not be able to enjoy God's ideal world if we do not obtain this capability.
You can think that there is a war waged against the mind and the body. This war is more fierce than the first and second World War. You must know that this is a reality. There is a battle you fight daily whether to follow your satanic body of flesh or the more God-like mind.
If we do not accomplish bringing unity of our mind and bodies, we may experience a third and fourth world war for many generations. The war of the world first began with the war of mind and body in two individuals who multiplied this fate through the family.
The solution to world peace will be accomplished with the completion of the war within the individual.
We each must solve this problem of the mind and body fighting in order to meet the standard of God's ideal.
A true religion teaches to control the body and deny its selfish ungodly self. We must deny the body on the individual and family level up to the world level. On the foundation of the fallen secular body there are seven different barriers which must be broken through. You have to take control of this body in order to tear down all the barriers.
This is such a serious situation and may sound simplistic and we should dedicate our lives to this cause. No matter how difficult it seems to deny our fallen desires, we as people of faith have to do it. We must travel a straight line and never a zigzag line. There is only one way, one absolute way.
